Kusatsu, Shiga 525-8577, Japan Supported by: Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovation Areas (Science of Soft Robots) JP19H05337 Mechanics and Synthesis of Soft Contact Associated lab/group:

Project Description

We will study a soft capacitive sensor capable of sensing a desired physical quantity. Designing structure or material of dielectric, we will realize a sensor that can measure force alone independent of contacting area.
